New Super Hercules for Norway

At ceremonies here yesterday, the Royal Norwegian Air Force formally accepted a C-130J Super Hercules for the aircraft that was tragically lost in March of this year. Through strong cooperation between the Governments of the United States and Norway, a C-130J originally destined for Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, was redirected to become the replacement aircraft.
